  • Diffusion of Asymmetric Swimmers 

    Rutenberg, Andrew D., Andrew J. Richardson, and Claire J. Montgomery. 2003. "Diffusion of Asymmetric Swimmers." Physical Review Letters 91(8): 806011-806014.
    Asymmetric swimmers that would move at a constant speed in perfect circles in the absence of fluctuations were studied. Particles moving at a constant speed with either a fixed or a Gaussian distributed magnitude of curvature ...
  • Clocking out: modeling phage-induced lysis of Escherichia coli 

    Ryan, G. L., and A. D. Rutenberg. 2007. "Clocking out: modeling phage-induced lysis of Escherichia coli." Journal of Bacteriology 189(13): 4749-4755.
    Phage lambda lyses the host Escherichia coli at a precisely scheduled time after induction. Lysis timing is determined by the action of phage holins, which are small proteins that induce hole formation in the bacterium's ...

  • Monodisperse domains by proteolytic control of the coarsening instability 

    Derr, Julien, and Andrew D. Rutenberg. 2011. "Monodisperse domains by proteolytic control of the coarsening instability." Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 84(1).
    The coarsening instability typically disrupts steady-state cluster-size distributions. We show that degradation coupled to the cluster size, such as arising from biological proteolysis, leads to a fixed-point cluster size. ...
  • Pulling helices inside bacteria: imperfect helices and rings 

    Allard, J. F., and A. D. Rutenberg. 2009. "Pulling helices inside bacteria: imperfect helices and rings." Physical Review Letters 102(15): 158105.
    We study steady-state configurations of intrinsically-straight elastic filaments constrained within rod-shaped bacteria that have applied forces distributed along their length. Perfect steady-state helices result from axial ...
  • Self-organization of the MinE protein ring in subcellular Min oscillations

    We model the self-organization of the MinE ring that is observed during subcellular oscillations of the proteins MinD and MinE within the rod-shaped bacterium Escherichia coli. With a steady-state approximation, we can ...
